Description

Ferrum Audio OOR Headphone Amplifier

What Ferrum say

OOR, the only headphone amplifier with a soul

OOR will redefine the category of headphone amplifiers. OOR will drive any headphones effortlessly to the max of their potential, while preserving the essence of the music it amplifies. Ultra low distortion, zero fatigue, huge dynamics and unrivaled detail result in ultimate enjoyment. OOR actually makes something that is very difficult to accomplish, seem like the most natural thing on earth. The most important features are:

Truly Balanced

The signal path stays truly balanced using the XLR inputs and becomes truly balanced using the RCA inputs.

Ease of use

Only three knobs on the front panel to control the most important settings.

Ferrum Power Link

OOR performs very, very good right out of the box. But OOR is made to excel above and beyond when used together with HYPSOS. Ferrum use what they have dubbed our Ferrum Power Link (FPL in short) to connect the two. HYPSOS then will perform to its maximum, unleashing unheard musicality from the combination with OOR.

Unique output cable design: two wires delivering the power and two wires providing the feedback to ensure flat voltage at every moment. We named this technique Ferrum Power Link (FPL) and it eliminates the harmful effects of the cable's resistance effectively improving transient response. The current delivery speed at the powered device's input is significantly improved.

OOR comes with a carefully selected DC power adapter. To get the most out of OOR you can connect it with HYPSOS using our proprietary Ferrum Power Link DC power cable. This FPL cable can be ordered separately.

Superior control

Perfected steering of output transistors protect them and never let them turn off, therefore reducing distortion to inaudible levels and keeping them in a state where they can instantly unleash all their power, crucial for high dynamics, superlative control and authority in sound.

Enhanced transparency

The whole design is focussed on a balanced and very transparent sound signature, making listening fatigue something of the past.

Discrete design

The discrete power amp technology is developed in-house to achieve the best possible analog quality.

About Ferrum Audio

Ferrum Audio, a company firmly rooted in the Warsaw region of Poland, combines craftsmanship and audio to create exceptional audiophile-grade audio electronics. The name "Ferrum" derives from the Latin word for iron, reflecting the area's rich history of metallurgy and craftsmanship. Inspired by the region's heritage, nature, and local industry, Ferrum Audio is dedicated to showcasing its locally designed and manufactured products to the world.

The Ferrum team draws inspiration from the region's legacy of craftsmanship, including the renowned composer and pianist Frederic Chopin, born just kilometres from the company headquarters. The strong work ethic and dedication to excellence that characterises the region are deeply ingrained in Ferrum's ethos. Like iron, their products are built to be enduring and remarkable.

The connection to iron goes beyond symbolism for Ferrum Audio. The CEO, Marcin Hamerla, hails from a family of blacksmiths, and his nickname, "the Hammer" and the parent company's name, HEME, which refers to an iron compound, further emphasise the ties to the ironworking tradition. With years of experience and knowledge, Ferrum Audio has crafted a range of locally made audiophile-grade audio electronics, culminating in a product lineup poised to make its mark on the global stage.

Ferrum Audio is driven by a passion for excellence, a dedication to craftsmanship, and a desire to conquer the world with its outstanding audio products. With its strong heritage and commitment to quality, Ferrum Audio is set to redefine the boundaries of audio excellence.
